Other side has mismatched wheels as well - what a mess.

Oh - and knew the car, just wondering why anyone would change the badging to say ... what, exactly? Your thoughts?

Guessing that the badge was victim of an attempted theft which resulted in the break. I don’t think the owner tried to modify it.

It would garner some second looks, guaranteed.

I can’t see how what’s there is part of the ‘5' that came with the car ... but that’s probably not the worst thing wrong with it. Should have peeked inside to see the condition.

Probably better that you didn’t get too much closer!

I think that the upper part of the ‘5' just broke off.

Yeah - now that I look at the dirt, that’s probably what happened. Still, a sad end to a magnificent machine.
